Bryant seemed to be referring to a third-and-goal play from the 3-yard line in the first quarter. He shook free from Jenkins, but quarterback Dak Prescott was under pressure and missed with a high pass to an open Bryant in the end zone.

"Just go watch the film," Bryant said. "You'll see. I made him fall once. That was a touchdown. Just watch. You'll see."

Bryant and Jenkins were clearly hyped for this matchup after an offseason full of trash talk. Jenkins had bragging rights after Bryant was held to two catches for 18 yards in two Giants win last season. Jenkins had an interception and a forced fumble while covering Bryant in the two meetings, and he wasn't shy about boasting about his lock-down coverage after the season.

Jenkins followed Bryant around the field on Sunday night and there were fireworks immediately, as the players had to be separated from jawing after multiple plays on the Cowboys' opening drive.

Jenkins was much quieter after the game. He responded "no comment" to the 10 postgame questions he fielded, including one question that asked if he was just going to say "no comment" to every query.

The Cowboys force-fed Bryant with nine targets, including three straight near the goal line in the sequence that ended with Prescott's incompletion. Jenkins had tight coverage all night, although he was flagged for a questionable 21-yard pass interference penalty that set up the Cowboys' lone touchdown late in the second quarter. Bryant got free for a 35-yard gain in the third quarter when he caught a slant and broke a tackle by Jenkins.
